Yep, looks like we're having a girl! We're having some trouble agreeing on a name, so of course I thought I'd take it to PT! Middle name will probably be either Grace or Nicole. Vote for your favorite or post some of your favorite girl names. Thanks!
yay!! a girl!!.. I still have no clue what mine is.. besides a ninja that is.. lol
if middle name Grace.. IŽd choose Brooklyn
if Nicole then Ashlynn.. ;)
without knowing middle name I like Brooklyn best out of those three
congrats!!
Congratulations!! When is your due date?
I love the name Alaina, I think it's such a pretty name. My best friend growing up had a sister named that, only she spelled it Alena (they were German).
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and don't recommend that you name your daughter after that place! LOL!
Congratulations
Alaina Grace would be my choice!
There are some negative associations with Brooklyn, I'd rather it be Brooke, with or without the e! Lovely water associations to that, not grimy city ones.
Having worked in day care for 12 years I have heard a lot of names. I had a two year old named Brooklyn and she was the cutest darn thing!!
That is a down fall though to have worked with kids. Because I hear a name and associate it with that child.
But I voted for Ashlynn. I had thought of that name for a girl way back when I actually thought I would have children. But I'd spell it with one n.
Congrats on the baby girl!!! :D :D
Love all the names, but Ashlynn is not one I hear a lot of in school, so I'd choose that one. It's so pretty and would sound nice with either of the middle names.
Heck, they're all nice names, lol. Hope you have a happy and healthy baby girl!
My husbend has a niece named Brooklynn and we always have called her Brookie. Ashlynn might become Ash as Ashleys often do.
So that is always something to think about.
All the names are beautiful. As I am sure your daughter will be.
This is also my choice.:)Quote:

I lie the name Alaina Grace so much!!!
Ashlynn Nicole has a nice ring to it but I like all the options so am really no help at all :D
:eek: WoW another PT girl.. When are we due?? I think all of the names are very nice & sweet.. However I did choose Brooklyn.. Many Congrats to you & family..
I like the sound of Brooklyn Grace, but I do like all of the names very much!
Thanks everyone! Baby is due November 15 (2 days after Ty's birthday! :eek:). I never thought about Brooklyn the city, I just know someone who named their daughter that and thought it was pretty. See, that's why I come to you guys for help ;) I'll let you know if we ever make a final decision! LOL
I had a friend in school whose parents still hadn't decided on a name for her when they were taking her home from the hospital, so her birth certificate says "female" instead of a first name. They eventually did settle on Bridget as her name, but not quickly enough for the paperwork!
Love the name, Brooklyn.... I'd have "Brooke" for short.
I like L and A names. One of my favs is Lola. It's so hip even now I think.
I am not into the old fashioned names like, Emma and Abigal, Martha and Edna. They sound so old and crusty.
Same with Josh, Jeremy.
Hope I haven't offended anyone. I know names are very personal.
Just my opinion.
As I said I like L and A names like Lydia, Linda, Laura, Lillian, Lilia, Lola
Or Alexis, Anne, Alexandria, Alicia, Anastasia
Anyway...........................
I actually love all your girls first names, so did not vote in the poll, but i have to choose Nicole for the second name as that is my daughter's second name, let us all know what you end up choosing .:)
:eek: WoW talking about the birthadays being together.. Oh that would be so Neat if you had Brooklyn? on Tys birthday.. Congrats What does Ty think about having a baby sister??Quote:

I really like Brooklynn Grace or Alaina Grace. Congratulations!!
I just checked and "Brooklyn" is a far more common name - it was #47 in popularity in 2008, and Alaina was #247, so I'd go with the less popular name. I was almost never the only Karen in any gathering, and it gets confusing!
Just wanted to add that.
I think Ashlynn would have to correct everyone who would think her name was Ashley, like my sister Johanna spent years telling people her name was Joanna or Joanne as those were far more common.
:) Thats like my name is Helene && EveryOne says helen or helena.. And I am like its Helene = the "E"s are long vowels..
Wow...I didn't realize Brooklyn was that popular! I actually would have thought that Alaina would be the more popular name. Thanks! I know all too well what it's like to have a very common name...I don't think I had a single class in school where I was the only Jen. ;)Quote:

Guess it could be used as a combination type name (Brooke-lynn) like Joanne or Carolynn. Just never occurred to me in that way. To me Brooklyn is Brooklyn, NY!
Ah...I understand. I've never been there, so I don't think I associate the city with the name. Now, if someone named their child 'Pittsburgh,' that would be odd to me....;)Quote:

I want to name a future daughter Isabel, after my grandmother, but Bella, Isabella, etc are really common now. I really like the name Ava or Eva too, but same thing.
Good luck choosing a name! :D
My daughter's middle name is Alane. I love all the names but I think I like Alaina Nicole better. :)
Well, I think we have decided on....Alaina Grace! Thanks everyone for all of the input. It's never easy choosing a name ;)
oh i just love your choice of names for your girl, so pretty, just beautiful like she will be.:love:
